Splitting Data Files

If you are logging to a .txt file or a .csv file, you can have Flow Vision™ SC split

the file into smaller pieces so that the data is more manageable.
Data can be split by file size, by time or by a predefined schedule selected by

the user.

Please note: When database file extensions are selected, the File Splitting

menu will be inaccessible. Database files are handled by external programs

that are not affected by file size and have interfaces that allow users to

manipulate data through the database program itself.

Starting and Stopping Data Logs

Flow Vision™ SC also allows you to configure how data logs are started and

stopped.
To access this functionality, select the “Start/Stop” tab at the top of the New

Log window.
Logs can be set to start: manually; when Flow Vision™ SC starts; after an

alarm is triggered; or by a user defined schedule.
Click the round button next to how you would like the logging to start and/or

stop and fill in any necessary blanks.
Once you have completed all of the sections for a new log, click the “Save”

button in the bottom right hand corner to save the log file.
When the log file has been successfully saved, the New Log window will

automatically close.
By accessing the Data Logs module again, you will see your saved test in the

window.
